Book Description
Advanced smart home setups often require more than standard configurations to achieve performance, security, and flexibility. This book helps electronics engineers and advanced home automation enthusiasts extend Home Assistant with deeper control over devices, networks, and integrations.
You’ll begin with performance tuning and advanced YAML and Jinja2 configurations, then move on to secure network design using Zigbee and cloud integration with Golioth. You’ll build custom IoT devices with ESPHome, use MQTT for communication, and develop ESP32-based touchscreen displays and camera systems.
By the end of this book, you will also have covered advanced automation patterns using Node-RED and AppDaemon, along with AI-driven techniques to analyse user behaviour and optimize automation workflows. Written by an expert with over 25 years of experience, this book provides practical methods to design, secure, and scale modern smart home systems.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
